In Shiver, did you enjoy ...

... the intimate, atmospheric small-town setting and focus on a close-knit pair of protagonists?

Wolves, Boys, & Other Things That Might Kill Me by Kristen Chandler

If you loved the close, snowbound intimacy between Grace and Sam in Shiver, you'll be swept up by Chandler's novel. It centers on KJ, a girl in a small Montana town whose life is upended by the reintroduction of wolves—and by a budding relationship with a boy whose father is the local wolf biologist. The book captures the same sense of chilly, rural isolation and the emotional intensity of two teens drawn together against the odds.

... the slow-burning, atmospheric romance tied to supernatural elements?

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

If the gradual, yearning romance between Grace and Sam pulled at your heartstrings in Shiver, you'll be enchanted by The Scorpio Races. Stiefvater weaves another delicate, tension-filled relationship—this time between Puck and Sean, who are drawn together by the dangerous, magical water horses of their windswept island. The romance grows with exquisite patience, set against a backdrop of myth and peril.

... the blend of romance and supernatural dangers?

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

If you couldn't get enough of the bittersweet love and supernatural peril in Shiver, you'll be on the edge of your seat with The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. Tana journeys into a city of monsters and temptation, where her relationship with Gavriel—a charismatic, dangerous vampire—echoes the tension and longing you enjoyed with Grace and Sam.

... the dreamy, poetic writing style and magical realism?

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

If Stiefvater's lush, lyrical prose in Shiver drew you in, Bone Gap's evocative, almost hypnotic language will mesmerize you. Laura Ruby crafts a surreal, magical Midwest where mystery and romance intertwine. The book dances between reality and the fantastic, inviting you to lose yourself in its flowery, immersive storytelling.

... the deep exploration of characters’ inner lives and vulnerabilities?

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

If you found yourself invested in the complicated, heartfelt interior worlds of Grace and Sam in Shiver, you'll love the intricate character work in The Raven Boys. Blue, Gansey, and their friends wrestle with longing, identity, and secrets as they chase a supernatural mystery. Stiefvater once again excels at drawing you close to her characters’ hopes, fears, and dreams.
